In this video I bring you along as I have a look at a customers 2014 Ford Focus that came in with a customer complaint of no headlight operation, o panel dimmer and no trunk release button. Sounds easy enough…. -Enjoy!

Saved my bacon yet again…. Thank you!
I have a friends focus doing the same thing watched your video and it was spot on wire was broke in about the same place thanks for sharing saved me some time fixing it
Eric O: you are an amazing person. It was a bad day and stuff wasn't going perfect. So, you stepped back, took a breather and calmed (controlled) your hectic day. Re-assessed the problem and maybe found a way to remedy the problem; there is a part II but I haven't watched it yet. What this reminded me of is my Dad's saying: nobody else can make you mad, you let yourself get that way! A hard lesson to learn. You can only do so much and have to let everything else slide!
A ford probe😮
another excellent video
Is this the Bat Mobile Eric , has the joker been in this one before ? 😉😎, we dont like being beaten by wiring faults , looking forward to the 2nd part ðŸ‘
Minor stuff compared to these modern cars my 2002 Ford Focus everything works perfect and has ice cold air and a manual trans and manual everything works.
Thanks for showing us that you work the plan and it will lead you towards the trouble. This one the trouble is not easy to get to. You did the right thing by attacking this with a better frame of mind.
O why do people always got to put aftermarket stuff in your cars what do they get figured out yet it just wasted their money and their time
Well said walk away
Some days just knowing your limits and setting boundaries is the wisest course of action. Even on your toughest days you are still more thorough than most!
Thanks Dr. O!
Even Superman leaves his cape at home somedays.😉
I can understand that if someone else has already poked around everywhere you are looking now, yikes maybe you should run away! The mouse nest is intriguing though. Hope the problem is there. Me off to see part II now!
Poo on your nonbelievers. You have taught me/us more about fixing new cars than I did In tech school. Nobody knows everything. Except for the lord.
That’s what I love the most outta old vehicles…. Far fewer wires! Lol think the whole car runs on a dozen wires lol
Anyone else catch the subtle sound of the "female parts" passing the satisfaction test at 7:25
Using your spidey senses on Batman’s daily driver. You’d think Batman and Alfred could do a better job.
You are one 100% right about knowing when to walk away how you doing Eric how is the family doing I’ll say a prayer for you tonight
2:14 Da na na na na na na na …….?
When you bring out the scanner. Viewers switch to another video
Can you do a video on how to replace the shifter bulb on a 2012 to 2018 ford focus
Take you some time off yiu earned it
We all have days that don’t go so well, thanks for sharing as it is always good to know we are not alone when we have days like this.
Mickey strikes again !! ðŸ
Keep up the good work! everybody has those days. Your a great teacher and a mentor! Thanks for what you do!
We all have those days Eric but thank you for sticking at it for us looking forward to the next when your ready
Your right that wire is likely not broke back there its likely ate threw buy the rat on side note bet he fixes the broken radio when he open that's rats nest
I wouldn't walk away I would run
Man I used to own a 1990 Ford probe GL. I loved that car. Had a five-speed manual and that thing had some giddy up to it. If I could find one for a reasonable price I get another one
What scan tool is that? I have an Autel 908
Asking not sure what we can seen at 1:29 I see a sweet Ford Probe.
My power seat doesn't work anymore so I bought a new driveshaft.
Lawn mower guy strikes again!
Why did Ford use such crappy wiring for the smart stop/start
Dang those are nice wiring diagrams.
